Reviews
the 2019 box office is still one of the best today. and it is no secret that 2019 had some of the best theatrical releases, and i think _**waves**_ is one of them. amongst many of the box office hits there was a little hidden gem called **_waves_**. a film about life, the waves it sends your way, good or bad, the ups and the down, the highs and the lows. a film that touches on every topic kn

'Waves', while certainly ambitious, is so busy trying to be a future indie classic with its camera acrobatics and needle drops that it forgets to give any impetus to care about the supposedly profound stories it's trying to tell, instead coasting on its stylistic flairs and hoping these will distract from how shallow its writing is, making the 135-minute run time incredibly laborious.

In other words, I will try my best to keep myself collective
Best film of the year by far.
